UNESCO confirms that Kosovo's architectural heritage is Serbian
The United Nations Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) thanked Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Selakovic for congratulating him on his 75th birthday and promised to protect Serbian medieval cultural heritage in Kosovo.
The international organization reported this on its Twitter, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Thank you to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Serbia for the best wishes on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of UNESCO! – the organizations tweeted in response to the congratulations of Foreign Minister Nikola Selakovic. – The protection of Byzantine and Serbian medieval art located in the monasteries of Sopočani, Visoki Dečani and Studenica is of invaluable importance for cultural heritage. We will continue to protect him!”
Let us recall that Kosovo separatists have repeatedly tried assign Serbian cultural heritage of the region for themselves, declaring it Albanian, and in 2015 they applied for membership in UNESCO, but were refused.
Real tantrum the leadership of Pristina called inclusion by the international organization of Serbian architectural and spiritual shrines - the monasteries of Visoki Decani, Gracanica, Pečka Patriaršja and the Church of Our Lady of Levis - on the list of endangered cultural heritage.
After a panel discussion at the plenary session of the 41st session of the UNESCO General Assembly in Paris, answering questions from journalists, Serbian Prime Minister Anna Brnabic noted that this organization deals with issues that have nothing to do with politics, but are directly related to education, culture, science and other similar issues.
“When we talk about depoliticization, we insist that the so-called “state” of Kosovo has nothing to ask for from UNESCO. UNESCO is not the place to talk about whether Kosovo, which has no seat at the UN and is not recognized by more than half the countries, can be a member of the organization.
When I say “depoliticization,” everyone knows what that means. UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay said that she will not engage in politics during her mandate,” Brnabic said.
During the war of the 90s and the pogroms that followed, Kosovo Albanians deliberately destroyed and desecrated the Serbian spiritual heritage, many of which are medieval monuments of Orthodox culture.
Thus, about 76 churches were destroyed by Albanian pogromists, and 150 were damaged and desecrated.
Many surviving objects turned into landfills and latrines, looting temples and monasteries - are still happening today.
